YOU sAlpl

You said that you would come again
When winters Storms werc DER,
when hawthorn blossomed In the lane
And spring was green once moro.
But nov the r~ipening corn Is high,
The hawthorn bloom Is shed,
The golden summer days pass by
And all my hopes are dead.
You said wherever your steps might range
Your heart would still be mine;
You said true love would never change,
For IL was made divine.
But now I've learned that lovers rows
Are changeful asthe moon;
Truth falls like May bloom from the boughs,
And love Is dead too soon!
You said, though other lips should smile.
'Twouli be In vain for you;
That rar'st charms could meier beguils
A heart so firm and true.
But nov my tears, like falling rain,
Blot out the dying day,
And YOU will never come again
To kiss my tears awayl

A Vast Timber Area.

Among the myriads Of natural curl
osities and wonders that confront the Wis
itor to the coast Of the North Pacific
ocean," said a gentleman recently re-
turned from a trip to that region, moth
ing impressed me 50 deeply as the gigan.
tic forests of Puget sound. That arm Of
the Pacific is 200 miles in length, with a
shore so irregular, and indentel so plen-
tifully with bays and deep harbors that
its measurement is owe l,sOO miles in
extent. Along this whole shore line. and
extending thence on both sides, miles
and miles farther than the eye can see, is
one vast unbroken area Of forest trees
the like of which ] never saw. A few
sawmills have been erected along the
sound, and although for several years
they have ripped 800, 000, 900 feet Of
lumber from these forests annually, the
C made by what seem like tre-
mendous inroads on the timber appear
like little garden patches.
The markets for this product of these
mills in the depths Of the Washington
territory wilderness is South America,
Australia, Central America and the Pa.
ciii ocean islands. This great belt Of
virgin timber covers 80 900, 900 acres, an
area equal TO that Of the states Of Massa.
chusetts. Connecticut. Vermont. and Ne
Hampshire. The forests are OF fir, ccda.
maple and other valuable woods. The
frs comprise two-thirds Of the timber.

timber on this belt at 500, 900, 900, 00O

PURE, CLEAR WATER WANTED.

Until the water question is settled
1t will be impossible to make anything
like safe, reliable boom a real,
boomy boom. More houses mean
more water and more water means
more pressure, and that means more
m achinery. But not only moro, but
purer, clearer water Is wanted and
that means new plant or costly ad-
ditions to the present plant. And this
we ought to have just as soon as 1t is
possible for money and labor to secure

another two years; they cannot expect

made Immediately for them, provision
that will be adequate for all present

the near future. II the city under the
bill just passed cannot build water
works, then the Water Company mus

THE SCHOOL TAX.

The Senate In considering the assess.
ment bill yesterday appropriated 10
cents Of the privilege tax for the
schools. This, added to the 10 cents
from the general tax for the came pur-
p'se, makes total Of 25 cents, which,
all things considered, is fair provis-
ion for the public schools and must
prove very encouraging to the friends
OF education. II the several coun'
ties, following the fine example
o, Gibson do as well, the schools Of
the State may be kept open for nine
months in the year. This would afford
abundant opportunity for the children,
black as we'll as white, to get an educa'
ton and as fair start in life as II
vouchsafed now in the States most
favored in this regard.

A JEALOUS HUSBAND
Attem pts 10 Cut His wife TO Pieces
with n HRtchet.

Jealousy prompted what may yet
prove fatal assault last night, About
7 o'clock word was received a. police
headquarters that Mumford Wharton,
a colored man, had cut ana seriously
wounded his wife, Lizzie Wharton, on
Georgia street, near Orleans. Capt,
O'Haver, Sergeant Hedrick and Officer
Randolph went out to the scene, but
the assaisnt had fed. They found
the victim suffering from two ugly
wounds, inflicted with a Ratchet. Her
arm was broken ard head badly cut
with the instrument, and she was suf-
feriug intensely. The two latter
officers went to the home Of Mumford's
mother, some distance in the country,
but he could not be found. His arrest
will probably be effected this morning,
as the police think they have nice
trap laid that will work. Wharton
drove a candy wagon for Frost, and
WAS regarded as a sober, steady, indus
trious negro.

John SHERMAN,

Who will speak in Nashville tonight,
has already made his maiden effort in
a tour undertaken with a view to Sc
cure the negro vote for President in
the next National Republican Ccnven-
ton. Mr.. Sherman is not a man
to lead q forlorn hope or I'M
dertake the impossible. He
does not dream, whatever
other Republicans may, Of changing
the popular vo!e OF any OF the South
ern States. He assumes, and even
with him 1t is a mere assumption, that
certain Of these States ought to be Re.
publican, but he does not propose to
himself the task OF proving that it is
80 by q formal canvass, pitting
himseli against the sbler speakers Of
the Democratic parry. He will speak,
perhaps, in way TO lead his Republic
can hearers TO hope that he may, be-
fore the National Convention meets,
seriously undertake such a mission,
but he really means only to make an
impression upon the susceptible negro
in order o secure, II possible, the vote
of the Solid South in the Re-
publican convention. Mr.. Blaine has
hitherto monopolized that vo'e, but ss
no has failed to materisllze as Presi-
deaf, not only the blacks but the
whites are beginning to weaken on
him, thus making their capture an
easy thing to man OF Mr.. Snerman's
ability and experience as a statesman.
And to this honor he is welcome.
i. may secure him the nomination
but an election, never. The Demo-
Gratis are in power, and moan to hold
to it. They have their differences,
but they are not irreconcilable. To
the common enemy they are today as
q solid wall, and ss a solid wall they
will stand on election day to prevent
the Republicans from even an en-.
couraglng gain Of votes in any Of the
States where they are nowin the as

An UNDERGROUND SYSTEM

Promises to ReV0lutiOnize the

NEW YORK, March 23.-The CONNER

on foot to revolutionizs the passenger
ard freight traffic in and out of this
city. The plan, as outlined by it, pro.
poses to do away with the trans orts-
ZION OF passengers by ferry and freight
by floats 10 and from Jersey CITY, and
an abandonment Of the Grand Central
depot at Forty second street, now used
in connection with the traffic of the
New E9gland Sta es, and Of that
carried by the New York Central and
it's connections. In place of this the
proposed underground railroad syst m
is to be used for the transportation
Of passengers to and from the
northern end of the island, and
an elevated road with a half dozen
tracks is to bs constructed along the
east bank of the Hudson river, con-
Meeting with all the great freight ware
houses aud the ocean piers and run
ming to the largest switching grounds
in the world, which are to be laid out
at Morrisiana, on the east side OF the

THE NORTHWESTERN MILLERs
Report OF the Flour output for the
week.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, March 23.-
The Ncrthweaern Miiier says: Quite an
improvement in the wafer supply de-
veloped last week, making a decided
gain in the output. The product was
ia, $3.50 barrels, averaging 1908 bar
rels daily, against $1,000 barrels the
previous week, and 10000 barrels the
corresponding time In 1885. There ia
much better power this week, but
more mills have been staIt9d and have
drawn 1t down somewhat. Seventeen
mills were running today, getting out
about 5000 barrels. Six engines were
in use, but most Of these will be
stopped inside OF another week. One
reason why the millerH are anxious to
take advantage OF the increased water
power is the prevailing desire to get
out all the -four possible before the
interstate commerce law goes into ei-
feet. The railroads will not quote
rates TO hold after April 9th. The
opinion obtains that business is liable
to come to standstill for time after
that date, and the only way the millers
can prepare for the new law is TO mark
up the prices of 1jur. This will
doubtless have the effect of stopping
purchases. The -four market is quiet
and lower. The direct exports last
week were 90, 800 barrels. Receipts OF

THE DEMAND FOR REAL ESTATE.

The c,untry never in its history
had such promise OF substantial and
lasting prosperity as now. The South
surpasses every other section of the
Union in faith, courage, hope, energy,
progress, and in all the channels Of
Industry, trade and business activity,
The demand for real estate can
be easily accounted for. In
the North there has been a vast
amount Of capital boarded up or I'M
probably invested, and this capital
now seeks investment in the South
and real estate offers the safest induce
m ,nts. la discussing the advance
ment OF real estate in the South the
Louisville Courier. Journal shows that
it is because there is an immense &C
cumulation Of capital seeking invest
ment in the South, and closes a long
snd able article on this subject as
follows:
There will be Elut OF money when the n
tional debt shall have been paid This pay
ment cannot be long delayed aud is already
anticipated by capitalists. Many millions
will seek real estate instead Of business
plants. The gambling now progressing in
railways, coupled with government inter.
ference, will divert much money from spec
uIatiye securities o solid property In land or
